Wondering if there is a God?

500 wins at over an 80% winning percentage. 18 straight National Tournaments. National Championships as a player, assistant coach, and head coach. Four National Players of the Year, 15 All-Americans. You think that is possible without God? It is all evidence God still can use a nobody to prove His wonder working power!

Who else can take a program, which in 36 years had never reached the NAIA National Tournament, was coming off of 

four straight 20 loss seasons, and in two years win a NAIA Division II Record 39 consecutive games, and the 2009 National Championship. He even defeated the 2009 NAIA Division I champion on the road to begin the next season. God was only getting started leading the program to a 120-20 record in a four year stretch from 2007-11. 

Then take another program who had experienced 15 straight losing seasons and in two years reach the 2013 NAIA Division I National Championship Game. 

Afterwards take that team all over the world from Bhutan to Angola, where He defeated the 10 time African National Champions Angola on their home court on National TV in front of their president. 

He returned to lead OKWU back to No 1 Ranking nationally in year two again. 

Then when the NAIA went one division making the challenge even greater for a small Christian University, God miraculously returned the team to the 2025 National Championship Game. After being told no team in the current RPI / One Division era below a 16 RPI had ever reached the NAIA Fab Four. God took a 39 RPI on the road going through a 2 Seed, and two 1 Seeds to reach the 2025 National Championship Game. 

Still don’t believe in God? He came to open the eyes of the blind. Might be time to take your blinders off. 

Consider checking out what God has done  with Greg Tonnegal at Indiana Wesleyan, Danny Miles at Oregon Tech, Jim Kessler at Grace College, Steve Jenkins at Evangel University, Steve Shepherd at College of the Ozarks, and I could go on and on listing Godly coaches who God has blessed with uncommon often miraculous success over the years. 

I’ve been blessed to meet many of 

my coaching heroes like John Wooden, Don Mayer, and Ken Hays, who all coached in the NAIA. I even have had the opportunity  to coach against NAIA hall of fame legends such as Dan Hays, Bob Hoffman, Dave Holmquist, and Willie Holley. 

Trust me there is a God! 

500 wins is not even counting 250 wins as a head high school and assistant college coach. Championships in HS, as assistant, and as a player as well. All God! 

If there are any heroes besides God, it is the amazing assistant coaches and team chaplains that God has blessed me with Mark Molder, Garrett Jones, Jamie Peterson, David Leatherberry, Caleb Gentry, Jamie Peterson, Tony Lehew, Thomas Poling, Bobby Wade, Blake Zinck, Kendrick Babineaux, Kyle Comiskey, Makiah Wade, Ian Spaight, Val Van Putten, 

Thomas Poling, Bryant Knigge, and Gene Hartman who just won his 356 game through God’s power. 

There is an Amazing God and He is calling your Name! He loves you too!

Proof is right before your eyes!
